We're a hardy lot up here in Scotland. Even in the Summer we need factor dufflecoat. I hope that Beast from the East isn't about to strike again because its gone really really cold here. After Beast from the East was nearly coming to an end last year and I was breathing a sigh of relief.
Rumours were sweeping the city where I live that the "Pest from the West" was about. He never materialized though. Maybe he's waiting in hiding to strike anytime soon though
But just to add I love how when in London we all hear about it on the news whilst the rest of us up and down the country just have to get on with it.
But no not London. A light covering of snow and its panic stations. In fact the whole of London grinds to a halt with snowmageddon hashtag on Twitter last winter. It's no wonder the rest of us were calling the Londoners a right bunch of snowflakes.

I hope it snows, keeps people at home, less people to come into contact with

We still have to go to work. This is despite of customers staying in and us having to risk our health and our safety to travel to work. Otherwise we lose pay.

Good, so should you. The employer shouldn't have to pay for you to sit on your bum at home all day. No work no money, I'm sure you can do other tasks, if a shop cleaning, stock taking, training and all sorts of other things. I've never not made it in for a little bit of snow, most of the time it isn't even deep once you get out of the local street and onto the main roads which have been gritted.
